Yes, it's slick and native feeling. We spent a bit of time on the UI.

One useful feature it has is that it keeps track of the photos you've already sent. But again, it's a small part of a much larger feature which is actually pretty awesome.

We could add something else but the problem is that it is a simple app and adding something doesn't guarantee that it'll be enough to get approved.

Tweak it, doesn't have to be a major change and resubmit with information about what it does that a native app can't in the review notes (tracking sent images).

If that doesn't work maybe add basic image editing options (cropping etc.) or think about whether there are useful offline features you could add.

Note that I don't have much experience with rejections but that is what I would do.

Good point. I also wonder if we can basically resubmit it and hope we get a different reviewer. Based on 2.12 it just doesn't violate any of the points.
